I'm doing a grow with a 125W CFL only 1 plant take a look at my diary growing well under the blue CFL just now temps and that are great but going to need to train it so its low as CFL's dont travel well but best option for small spaces

Step 1.
Im going to start on the floor first. First thing is to prep the area and notch any wires.

Step 2
I am venting in from the converted side and not the eaves side as this will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I fitted 2 x 4" passive intakes with some subtle vent covers.

Hi Jiffa,
I will get exact dimensions tomorrow as I will be measuring for the wood panels.
Its roughly about 5ft at highest point, 2 ft deep and 3 ft wide..
Plenty for a 2 plant percy grow.
Cheers
